A Technical and Economic Feasibility Study of Campus Microgrid Implementation

This paper discusses the technical details in modeling the dynamic operation of a campus microgrid at Clemson University with multiple inverter-based systems. The model operates in grid-tied and islanded modes to validate its effective performance under multiple loading schemes. The fundamental electrical parameters of the designed system respond within the acceptable limit of the IEEE standard during normal and fault scenarios. Moreover, economic feasibility is also studied to assess the viability of the developed model.
